2. British Museum evacuated: Controlled explosion of unattended vehicle carried out after ‘security concern’

The British Museum has been evacuated amid a “security concern” after a suspicious vehicle was spotted outside the London attraction.

 

Families enjoying a day out at the start of the school holidays were reportedly thrown into panic when they were suddenly asked to leave.

 

The popular attraction said on Twitter: “The Museum is evacuated temporarily due to a security concern nearby. We apologise and will update when we can.”

 

Several people took to social media to describe the disruption, with one person tweeting: “I’ve just been in a British Museum evacuation and it was total chaos.”

 

“Russell Square closed and controlled explosion has taken place. Trying to get to hotel for wedding reception,” another person tweeted.

    • DaveKing, is it that you’re wondering why a police patrol was allocated to a Christian Convention? What do you think their purpose is?

      • I ask this question in an open-ended was so as to not presume the police are there for the benefit of the Christians.

    • That is what it is, the invasion has progressed to the point that we are surprised when there isn’t an attack, not when there is an attack.

    Few individuals realize how—aside from killing almost 3,000 men, women, and children— the 9-11 atrocity also destroyed one of the world’s most outstanding architectural accomplishments, the twin towers themselves.

    Ever since their construction, newer buildings of similar or greater height must rely upon “tuned mass dampers” (AKA harmonic absorbers) to cancel out wind-related sway that—at their topmost floors—could be more than a meter to each side. Such movement was sufficient to induce motion-sickness in sensitive people.

    Notably, the twin towers did not rely upon such complex negative-feedback inertial systems, just one of many amazing and innovative architectural features of these incredible buildings.

    From the video site: “On 12 May 2008 a province in China experienced an [8.0 Richter Scale] earthquake which the tremors to be felt in Taiwan. Taipei 101 skyscraper is protected by a large pendulum or big tuned mass damper weighing nearly 800 tons, that moves to compensate for the movement of the building so as not to collapse.“
